| It's Important to Know Your Body Fat
Carrying too much body fat can increase your risk of developing
many serious health problems including high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Research
has shown that maintaining a healthy weight and body fat
range can reduce your risk and help prevent the onset of
these conditions. Unlike weight, body fat is not always
visible and it can't be determined on an ordinary scale.
Until recently, estimating body fat has been an expensive,
time consuming process usually conducted only through medical
and athletic facilities-or simply left to guesswork.
The BodyFlight Lets You Take Control
The BodyFlight gives you a more complete picture of the
shape you're in by accurately determining your body fat
percentage. It's an essential tool for monitoring the process
of any exercise and diet program because it tells you if
you're losing pounds from fat or muscle. The BodyFlight
gives you the facts you need to make the right fitness decisions.
Over time, it provides you with the knowledge you need to
take the right steps toward a healthier life.
How the BodyFlight Works
The BodyFlight uses one of the most reliable methods of
analyzing body composition, BIA, short for bioelectrical
impedance analysis. BIA is based on a persons height, weight
and the strength and speed at which a very safe, low-level
electrical signal passes through the muscle and fat in the
body. The BodyFlight uses a true BIA process that is accurate,
convenient and fast. Electrodes built into the Chrome Foot
Pads sends a safe electronic signal through the body. Weight
and body fat are calculated automatically.
The measuring process is conducted using modern strain gauge
technology. An aluminum 4-sensor load cell accurately
detects your weight with 1% accuracy.
Important Notice
My Weigh's Body Fat Scale/Monitor requires bare feet for
proper conductivity while measuring body fat. Do not use
the body fat monitor function of these products if you are
using the following equipment- Cardiac pacemaker, electrocardiograph
and/ or other medical devices implanted in the body or used
for support. This, and most electronic weight scales will
not work on plush carpeted surfaces. Carpeting dissipates
your weight and will prevent accurate readings. Read
